Water intake components for power plants

ANDRITZ has over 25 years of experience in the manufacturing and installation of water intake systems. Our experts have realized and installed many projects all over the world, whether it’s a desalination plant in Middle East or water intake for drinking water in Europe, ANDRITZ is your partner with expertise and competence.

Water is a precious resource. When it comes to successful water treatment, the more important factors are low maintenance cost, large open area, low pressure drop, easy cleaning, long service life and process reliability. Wedge wire screen technology from ANDRITZ offers a range of water treatment solutions for the environment in which you want to operate.

Passive intake screen systems

Passive water intake system is an environmental friendly solution for water abstraction specially designed to protect aquatic life and meet fish protection regulations, such as the European Eel Directive. Considering your project specification ANDRITZ engineers will provide a design totally adapted with:

Available as an option ANDRITZ Euroslot can also deliver an autonomous air backwash system to remove leaves and other debris from the surface of the screen in order to maintain process flow.

High Durability

Totally welded structure

Wide range of metal alloys and materials proposed to limit corrosion risks and to minimize biofouling from invasive species such as Zebra mussels

Perfect build quality for a long lifetime and a failure-free water intake process

Gravitary filters (Underdrains)

Gravitary filters by ANDRITZ are a cost-effective and stable solution for filtration plants. Its’ main purpose is to maintain filtering media (sand , activated carbon,…), drain filtered water and ensure good and even distribution of air and water during backwash phases

The stainless steel construction offers the following advantages:

High open area for an optimized filtration cycle

No maintenance needed

Very strong construction

Resin Traps

Reliability and strict slot tolerances are important factors for resin traps used in reactor plants, as excaped media from the treatment vessel can damage the following pumping equipment. ANDRITZ resin traps can be designed to capture media particles of any size, while keeping slot tolerances as low as possible. For a safe and reliable process.
